This Fall 2022 Semester, the library is offering a new online OneSearch Library Catalog Tutorial. The tutorial is available in our library catalog, in many of our library research guides, and on our library website.
Upon completion of the OneSearch Library Catalog Tutorial, library patrons should be able to:
1. Find the OneSearch online library catalog.
2. Search for and locate books and e-books, videos, articles, digital media, and more in the library's collection.
3. Request items from other LACCD libraries.
At the end of the tutorial, there is a short online quiz, which provides users feedback.
The Library's databases allow access to information that is not freely available on the internet, and sources that have been vetted for credibility. In addition to academic journals, databases can include newspapers, magazines, trade journals and other sources. Check with your professor about any source requirements before you begin your research.
ProQuest is one of our most popular databases with access to articles from over 4,000 academic and popular magazines and journals. It covers a wide range of disciplines with content from academic journals, magazines, newspapers and more. This would be a great place to search for current events information.
This database covers multiple disciplines and a variety of formats including academic sources as well as newspapers, magazines and more.
You can also use any of our other databases from the complete list on the library's website.
Below are some tips and reminders when you are searching in our databases:
